IP addresses and SNMP community names
Each switch must be assigned its own Internet protocol (IP) address, which is used
for communication with an SNMP network manager or other transmission control
protocol/Internet protocol (TCP/IP) applications (for example, BOOTP or TFTP). The
switch default IP address is 192.168.70.1xx, where xx depends on the number of
the bay into which you have installed the switch module, as shown in Table 1.
Table 1. Default IP addresses based on switch-module bay numbers
Bay number Default IP address
Bay 1 192.168.70.127
Bay 2 192.168.70.128
Bay 3 192.168.70.129
Bay 4 192.168.70.130
The following illustration shows the switch-module bay locations.

You can change the default switch IP address to meet the specification of your
networking address scheme.
The switch also has a unique, factory-assigned media access control (MAC)
address. The switch MAC address is located on one side of the switch module, on
the same label as the serial number, as shown in the following illustration.
Note: The MAC address is also located on a separate label on the information
panel under the external Ethernet port connectors.
